Chapter 21: Shoot yourself in the foot
Chapter 21 Lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot
No matter how stupid Su Tingting is, she would never tell Guan Xue, an outsider, and she could only perfunctoryly say: "I'll ask my mother first, I have no evidence to prove that Su Zhi threatened me, and Su Zhi didn't leak the photos. It’s useless even if you call the police.”
"Too."
Guan Xue was very disappointed, she wished that Su Zhi would be arrested by the police immediately.
"If your parents know that Su Zhi secretly took pictures of you, they probably won't let her live in your house anymore, right?"
Su Tingting curled her lips, "It's hard to say, Su Zhi's mother has cancer, and she won't live for a few days. Where can she live in my house alone?"
Guan Xue was very surprised, "Wouldn't she want to stay at your house forever? Tingting, you are so unlucky to have a cousin like Su Zhi, it makes me sick to think about it.
This time I secretly photographed you, and next time I might steal your things. You’d better lock the door of your room in the future, and your parents’ room is also the same. Remember to put valuables and jewelry in the safe. "
"Well, I'll tell my dad when I get back."
Su Tingting added fuel and vinegar to fabricate Su Zhi's bad words, Guan Xue listened with gusto, and the two soon reconciled as before.
…
After entering the Putuo Temple, Su Zhi approached the abbot, "Master, I want to do a ritual ceremony."
Probably thought she was too young, the abbot nodded after being slightly taken aback, "Please benefactor, come with me."
After finishing the ritual, Su Zhi knelt in front of the ever-burning lamp, silently praying for the unborn baby in her previous life, and didn't get up until the sunset.
Putuo Temple is a well-known temple in Ningcheng. There are usually many pilgrims, and there are vendors setting up stalls outside the temple gate for many years.
Passing by a stall selling peace talismans, Su Zhi bought three cheapest peace talismans for ten yuan and put them in her pocket.
Not long after Xu Mei was discharged from the hospital, the doctor in charge told Su Tianhai about it.
Su Tianhai was talking to the vice president of a bank in the morning, so he didn't care about Xu Mei's affairs. He called Xu Mei when he was free in the afternoon, but Xu Mei had already returned to the countryside.
He faintly felt that something was wrong, Su Zhi only extorted 500,000 yuan last night, and Xu Mei was discharged from the hospital today.
He was eager to ask Su Zhi for clarification, but Su Zhi's phone couldn't be reached, so he could only go home and wait.
As soon as she entered the door, Su Zhi saw Su Tianhai sitting on the sofa in the living room, and a sneer flashed across her eyes.
"Xiao Zhi, where have you been? Why didn't you answer the phone?"
Su Zhi handed the three peace talismans bought at the entrance of the temple to Su Tianhai, "Second Uncle, these are the peace talismans I specially asked for you, Second Aunt, and Tingting. The master of Putuo Temple once consecrated them."
Businessmen are mostly superstitious, and Su Tianhai hastily accepted it when he heard that it was a safe amulet consecrated by the master.
Without waiting for Su Tianhai to ask again, Su Zhi took the initiative to explain: "I went to Putuo Temple to help my mother pray for blessings, and the phone was turned to silent, so I didn't hear the phone ring."
Su Tianhai asked tentatively: "Little Zhi, why is your mother discharged from the hospital? The operation is due in two days, and the deposit has been paid. Money doesn't matter, your mother's health is important.
Listen to your second uncle's advice and let your mother go back to the hospital for further treatment. Lung cancer is not a minor illness, and if you delay it for one more day, the risk will increase by 10%. "
Su Zhi showed a helpless expression, "It will be much cheaper to go to a public hospital for treatment, and some medicines can also be reimbursed by social security.
Second Uncle, you know the situation of my family. My mother relies on growing medicinal materials for my education, and earns every penny very hard. "
"Didn't I give you half a million last night?"
"Five hundred thousand is not enough, didn't you say at least one million?"
"..."
Su Tianhai didn't expect that what he said to fool Su Zhi ended up smashing his foot.
